CodeRabbit CLI Review

Run CodeRabbit (

cr

/

coderabbit

) for automated diff review before push. Pair with greptile
for the default pre-CI workflow — both tools catch different issues and mirror CI.

Relationship to analyze-* skills

The

analyze-code

,

analyze-project

, and

analyze-tests

skills are for manual or agent-driven pre-review checks—they run concrete commands (lintro, ripgrep, coverage, etc.) and produce structured findings before you open a PR.

This skill uses CodeRabbit CLI for external AI diff review. Follow the

lint

and

test

skills (or the

commit

skill, which includes them) before invoking CodeRabbit. Do not duplicate full analyze rubrics here.

Relationship to greptile

Default pre-push flow when CI runs both tools:

text

commit → [greptile ‖ coderabbit] → pr

Each step names the skill to follow.

Run greptile and coderabbit in parallel when possible. Do not re-run on unchanged code.

Commands

```
cr -h
```
/
```
coderabbit --help
```
— Show CodeRabbit help
```
coderabbit review --agent --type committed --base main
```
— Full branch diff against main (default for agents; matches CI intent)
```
coderabbit review --agent --type uncommitted
```
— Uncommitted (staged + unstaged); quick spot check
```
coderabbit doctor
```
— Verify install, auth, and Git repo readiness
```
coderabbit review findings
```
— Replay findings from the last local review

cr

is an alias for

coderabbit

.

--prompt-only

is deprecated; use

--agent

.

Rules

Max 2–3 CodeRabbit runs per change set (Pro plan: 5 CLI reviews per developer — rate limits)
Always use
```
--agent
```
for agent workflows (structured JSON output)
Default to
--base main
unless the repo uses a different default branch
Reviews can take 7–30+ minutes — run in the background when possible
Must run from an initialized Git repository root
Only use
```
-t uncommitted
```
for quick pre-commit spot checks

Usage

When asked to run CodeRabbit or as part of pre-push review:

Ensure lint and tests pass (the
```
commit
```
skill's checklist, or the
```
lint
```
and
```
test
```
skills explicitly)

Run

coderabbit review --agent --type committed --base main

(background if needed)

Analyze findings; address critical/major issues
After fixes, run one verification pass if CodeRabbit had findings
Track run count (max 2–3 per change set)

Note:

-t committed

with

--base main

reviews the full branch diff.

-t uncommitted

includes staged and unstaged changes (empty after a full commit with a clean tree).
